Poet Analysis

First Line: ON, AS THOU HAST BEGUNNE, BRAVE YOUTH, AND GET
Last Line: NO, NOT THE GLORY OF THE WORLD, VANDIKE.
Subject(s): PAINTINGS & PAINTERS;

On, as thou hast begunne, brave youth, and get
The Palme from Urbin, Titian, Tintarret,
Brugel and Coxu, and the workes out-doe,
Of Holben, and That mighty Ruben too.
So draw, and paint, as none may do the like
No, not the glory of the World, Vandike.
